History of Science Web Exhibits

The History Center's thirteen online exhibits engage a very broad audience - from elementary school students to historians of science. Visit our gallery to learn more about Marie Curie's discovery of radium or the three physicists who in the 1940s developed the device that created our information age: the transistor. Get to know Albert Einstein through images, voice clips, and essays and consider the "Uncertainty Principle" with Heisenberg.
